RENO, Nev. (AP) — Nevada President Marc Johnson has released a series of text messages and other documents he says demonstrate why the university was comfortable hiring an assistant basketball coach who was accused of sexual harassment before he resigned from California.
The documents were released Friday in response to a public records request from the Reno-Gazette Journal (http://tinyurl.com/zpv86zj ). They include hundreds of texts between Yann Hufnagel and a 24-year-old reporter who accused him of sexually harassing her while he was at Cal.
Nevada coach Eric Musselman announced Hufnagel's hiring on April 8. That was the day after Hufnagel announced he was dropping his appeal of Cal's attempt to fire him and was resigning from the Pac-12 school.
